National Assembly Ashot Ghulyan, His Grace Bishop Yezras Nersisian,
Primate of the Armenian Diocese of New Nakhijevan and Russia, Armenian
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Russia Oleg Yesayan,

"The Armenian community of Russiais among the most patriotic,
established and active parts of our nation. Since the very formation
of the Artsakh independent statehood each of you has directly been
involved in the process of making the native land prosperous and
developed. It is hard to imagine any sphere where your presence
would not be evident. As a result, it is also due to this active
participation that we have succeeded in realizing numerous programs
of strategic significance," NKR President Bako Sahakyan said in his
opening remarks.
"Today we gathered to implement another important project which aims
to secure a balanced long-term development of the rural areas. A
developed countryside is the most important tool connecting our people
to the land, which simultaneously solves a number of socioeconomic
and political issues, particularly in the fields of agriculture,
local production, processing industry, demography and other fields. I
think it is obvious that the strong and prosperous village is one of
the key components of Artsakh's strength," the President said.
"2012 is a jubilee year for our people. The whole nation celebrated the
20th anniversary of the NKR Defense Army formation and the liberation
of Shoushi. It is also a jubilee for the "Hayastan" All-Armenian fund,
which celebrates its 20th anniversary. The "Hayastan" fund is the
institution uniting the world spread Armenians around various projects
with a common goal to develop and reinforce the historic homeland,
further cement and strengthen the Armenia-Artsakh-Diaspora trinity,"
Bako Sahakyan continued.
"I am more than confident that being united and organized, having
corresponding will and determination, we are enable us to solve any
issue we face," the President said, urging everyone to participate
with the same energy and enthusiasm in the "Telethon-2012"and keep
supporting the patriotic mission of making Artsakh prosper.
